Goryokaku Garden

Goryokaku Park is located within Goryokaku. Goryokaku is a star-shaped fortress castle built in the Edo period. It was built in Western architecture. This castle that has witnessed history now only has the outer outline of the city wall, and the interior has been converted into a city park. That is Goryokaku Park. Cherry Blossom Viewing Resort Park is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Hokkaido, with cherry trees planted all over it. Every time the cherry blossoms bloom, it looks like a huge five-pointed star-shaped pink flower, which is very beautiful. There is now a Hakodate School in the Hakodate Fusho Park, which collects weapons used in the war, blood-stained samurai uniforms, and restored models of many buildings. Overlooking the Five-pointed Star In addition, there is also a Goryokaku Tower outside the park. Climbing the tower can overlook the whole picture of Goryokaku Park. The shape of the five-pointed star is clearly visible, and the streetscape of Hakodate can be seen from afar. Dream of the Five-Edged Star Every winter, a night-lighting event called "Dream of the Five-Edged Star" is held here. The frozen moat is covered with white snow, and the star-shaped pattern in the park is clearer and more beautiful. The walk is very romantic.
